Really liked how we set up tonight, funny how we can look so hopeless then do everything right!

We're top of the league and yes I am taking a screen shot. Well done lads!

Well compared to the last few sky showings that was enjoyable. A good first half of footy that. 

We sometimes move that ball around really nicely, Brittain class again.

What is our record on sky post 2000? Would love to see the stats. My gut says truly Abysmal.

I would guess so too - still having nightmares about that run last season, we were on like 9 times in a few months...

Yes, main game on tomorrow - Amazon are showing Prem games on Prime Video though.

Rovers with a WLWLWL form with this one landing on a 'L', an ex-manager in town, main game live on Sky.......what could possibly go wrong!?

Come on Rovers, prove me wrong.

Would certainly be bucking a lot of trends if we won. We rarely play well on Sky

Thanks, Windy

It looks like this one is live on sky again? No red button mentioned...

Just imagine if we were playing well 😉

We win away! 15 games without a draw, the championship is crazy this season! 

I see our pattern being broken this weekend, unfortunately the wrong way. 

Some of the worst football I have seen this club play the last few weeks, Boro will hurt us. 

We didn't realise how good we had it when John Williams was running the show did we!

Travis needs dropping. 

January a cm would be my priority. He's awful

And a shocking captain. No leadership 

 

 

Watching reactions tonight, not one of them is showing any leadership or passion to push on and put up a fight!!!!

It feels like a waste of an evening when I watch this team ATM. 

Crazy start to the season when we've already lost six and can be 3 points off top! 

Lets buck the trend and win Tuesday now, all of a sudden a half decent start! 

My fondest memories as a Rovers fan - I always wanted him to have a second spell, and probably still would!

Hi all - a VERY long time lurker and first time poster so thought I would add my 2 pence for what it's worth. 

In all the time I have supported Rovers I can't remember feeling as frustrated as I did last night, some of it absolute school boy stuff and we caused constant problems for ourselves being squeezed in every time we pissed around with the ball at the back - same thing was evident at Luton. It is as clear as day for us to see, let's hope this changes and soon - this is the championship, it does not work. JDT needs to learn to adapt and play different styles to succeed. This needs to stop. 

I understand to a degree that it's nice to be able to play the ball across the floor but almost every time last night was give the ball back unnecessarily and we are on the back foot again. At least when the odd hoof ball works out we are out of our half and will get the odd chance! 

What does Dack have to do to get a start? Because Szmodics has been poor every time I have seen him play and can't believe we paid what we did for him. Perhaps he still isn't match fit? I also don't rate Gally at all and we all know any time he shows glimpses of being a decent footballer it's being played through the middle. 

Poor call from Dolan last night, he should be playing Hedges in all night long - acres of space and would of tested the goalkeeper. I mean we have all tried that on the playground but this is professional football - I do think he brings some much needed energy to the team and his return so far this season hasn't been bad. 

Less said about the penalty the better - but I just knew deep down he was missing that. Cardiff being more clinical and they would of been out of sight by the half hour mark. 

Overall I can't see what style of play JDT is trying to implement but for all our sakes let's hope it comes soon because this is worse than what Mowbray was serving up IMO, I just wish my first post here was more a positive one. 

On the plus side I thought Ayala once again had a decent game and really like the look of Brittain, a decent footballer at this level.
